Recommend a home game

Post by SMU Pom Mom »

I booked a flight to Dallas to see the TCU game and my schedule only allows me to come to one more for the season. I won't be able to attend the Houston Baptist game on Family Weekend due to a conflict. So which other home game would you recommend? Navy is probably too soon, and Memphis has the advantage of being Senior Night (I assume), but it's another Friday game which makes it harder for me to get away. Thoughts?

Houston.

- It's in November so you can avoid the blazing heat.
- It's on a Saturday if that matters to you.
- Traditional rival, or the closest we have to it.
- Very strong team with a little bit of star power.
- It has the potential to be a big game that makes/breaks our season, due to being a little bit later.

100% on Houston.
Plus that time of year it's usually picture-perfect weather in Dallas.

Assuming you are not a Basketball Fan - Houston

If you love some SMU Basketball...wait for that Hoops schedule and see if the stars align for a Football/Basketball Combo weekend (perhaps for that Memphis game).

If you are lucky we will be wearing black with shiny red helmets so you can't tell which team is which.

I've decided on the Cincy game, mainly because it fit into my schedule. So this year I'll see TCU and CIncinnati. Can't wait!

Looking at the schedule, I think the Navy game will be the first one I can attend.

Kickoff for that game is listed as TBA. Will they announce a time six or 13 days in advance?

That's so kind, but as a pom mom I get a free ticket. And congratulations!
